Finally came around to listening to this - fantastic, though in addition to the Dillinger and People's Choice lifts, it nicks the intro from Kid Creole's Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy ... oh well, I'm a fan of Alcazar so I can't complain. Anyone know if they still have an album planned?

Lal lah lah! No idea why they re-recorded "Bright New Life" & "All Through The Night" with breathier, less strident vocals though. Inferior to the originals.

"Chameleon" is dope as hell though!

well, the woman who sang on all those early singles left a few years back, so it makes sense to re-record them with the person who is now the lead singer, does it not?

I'm just glad to see they kept "Karawane," that was fucking awesome.

Zena Kitt left?
Anyway it's almost summer here and so the album's being very good to me. It's just a bit frustrating that the album features inferior takes because the whole point of Escort is their mindbogglingly great execution.

Would love to see these guys but I guess they won't be doing many international tours with that 17-piece line-up...

ayo, just saw these dudes live and free at an outdoor concert at the mtl jazz festival. it was crazy! like 50,000 people in the audience, no way they've ever played a show that big. and they were loving it (and the singer spoke very fluent french! she was awesome in ever other way too). they played, in addition to their hits, 'there but for the grace of god,' 'miss broadway,' some gino soccio and even 'le cactus' by jacques dutronc. so good!

Thoughts on the new album? I am getting an MFSB backing band vibe.
